Soccer Foes 2


"Okay guys, today we are going to do a little thing called trust drills" Shane tells us right away after lunch. Ugh! Great, sounds like fun. NOT!
"As a team, you know that the most important element in working together as a team is trusting your teammates" he continues. I huff and roll my eyes. Well what if you can't trust or work with your team mates? I can name a few people who fit that description perfectly.
"So pair up and let's get started" Shane says and claps his hands to get us moving. Reddy and his other buddy, Lance, look at each other and nod their heads confirming they are a pair. They honestly try too hard to be cool. The Paris and Nicole wannabes grab onto each other as if someone was going to take their long lost sister away. And everybody else quickly finds a partner so they don't have to pair up with the blonde psycho. Oh wait, that's me. Morgan was quickly latched on with someone else against her will. Jazzy is missing in action. Thanks guys, I'm really feeling the love here. So I'm the only person without a partner. I'm now the partner less blonde psycho. The first drill is that game where one person falls back and your partner catches you. Well since I obviously can't do this, I might as well sit and enjoy the show. I can't wait to watch Paris and Nicole act as if they are experts. I sit down on the grass since I can't do anything. I lean back on my arms and spread my legs out and begin to watch the others.
"Bailey, what are you doing?" a voice says to me. I look up at Shane who was looking down at me with his arms folded. Um, is he blind?
"Well, what does it look like I'm doing? I'm sitting!" I say back to Shane.
"No, I don't see that. You want to know what I see?" he asks me. Did I ask him? No I don't think I did. Shane is still bossy as ever.
"No, but I know that you’re going to tell me anyway" I tell Shane and wait expectantly for whatever he's going to tell me. Shane rolls his eyes.
"I see a girl who is going to get her lazy ass up and start doing what everyone else is doing. Now!" he tells me and claps his hands for emphasize. I almost ignore his command but today is the first day my butt isn't sore and I don't want it to be sore anymore. In case you've forgotten, Shane spanked my ass four days ago. I huff while getting up and face Shane with my hands on my hips.
"Well what do you expect me to do? I don't have a partner" I tell him with my hands up in the air.
"That can be easily fixed. Come on, I'll be your partner" Shane says. My mouth drops. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What just happened here?
"But.....but.....I can't be your partner" I stammer out. I'm so shocked by the change of events that I can't even keep my cool.
"Why not?" he asks me.
"Because I don't trust you. At all. I don't have any faith in you whatsoever. No trust!!" I tell him. Do you see my point now? Apparently Shane doesn't it because he looks a little amused.
"Well it’s a good thing were gonna be doing trust drills so you can work on that little issue of yours" Shane tells me with a grin. I glare at him. I see nothing funny. I roll my eyes and follow him onto the field.
"So you do know how to do this, right?" he asks me. I roll my eyes again.
"Yes!! Of course I do. Every first grader plays this game" I say with a huff.
"Fine then turn around" Shane tells me. I do it.
"So let's just say that if I was to fall backwards, you'd definitely catch me. Right?" I ask him behind me.
"Yes I'd catch you" he says getting tired of me asking. I'm supposed to believe that?
"So you won't let me fall?" I ask Shane next double checking.
"No Bailey, I won't. Just trust me, okay?" he asks me gently. I shake myself to let all the nervous jitters go away.
"Okay, I'm going to fall back" I warn him.
"Okay" he says.
"You better catch me. Wait, I'm going to count to three and then go" I tell him.
"Okay. Count" Shane says. I take a deep breath. This is like a life or death situation.
"One...two....three" I say with my eyes closed.
"Why didn't you fall back?" Shane asks me with amusement laced through his voice. I open my eyes.
"I don't know. My feet wouldn't let me" I say. I can actually hear Shane roll his eyes.
"I never knew that this game could be so difficult" he tells me. He's actually surprised?
"I make everything difficult" I tell him with a tiny, tiny, tiny smile.
"Oh don't worry. I'm completed aware of that. Now would you please just fall" Shane says impatiently. Well here goes nothing. I close my eyes and fall backwards. Let me just say that it was the longest one second of my life. You’re probably wondering how that it is possible. Just take my word for it or play the do you trust me game with your enemy. Then you'll know how it feels. Anyway, I fall back and just when I'm about to hit the ground Shane catches me. Oh my God, I'm alive. I quickly open my eyes and see Shane looking down at me grinning. He gently lifts me up on my feet again.
"See, you had nothing to worry about" Shane says obviously trying not to laugh.
"Well it took you long enough to catch me. I almost fell" I tell him with s hmph.
"But you didn't, did you scaredy cat?" he asks me smirking. I open my mouth but nothing comes out. Damn, he has me there.
"No, I guess not" I grumble pissed that he cornered me. Shane puts his arm around my shoulders.
"You gotta trust your team, Bailey. They got your back even if you don't want to realize that or not" he tells me softly. I cross my arms. Yeah well I can name a few people who definitely don't got my back.
"Hmph! Well I still don't trust you" I tell him while trying to ignore the happy feeling of his arm around me.
"I bet you trust me more than you did before I caught you, huh?" Shane asks me with a knowing grin. Damn it! He caught me again. I bite my tongue super hard so I can't show a grin. Pull yourself together Bailey!
"Pshh! Yeah right. It's still the same" I say trying to act cool as if I don’t care.
"Mhmm. Whatever you say, Bailey" he says still grinning and not believing me. Don't grin, don’t grin.
"Hey, you’re off the hook now. Here comes Anya, so she can be your partner. Although I'm sure you’re highly disappointed" Shane says to me. For some strange reason, I'm not and I'd like to know why.
"You have no idea" I say hoping it was sarcastic enough. Shane removes his arm from my shoulder and says to Jazzy as she walks toward us
"your partner's Bailey. Get ready to do the next drill" and then he walks off to check on the others. I still feel where he had his arm around me. Eek! Wait no eeking Bailey. Jazzy's looking at me funny.
"What?" I ask her.
"Since when do you and Shane get a long? Do you like him now or something?" she asks me suspiciously.
"Hell no!! Anyway, where were you?" I ask her quickly changing the subject away from me and Shane.
"Oh. Um I was in the front office talking to my mom on the phone. There apparently was an emergency at home but everything's okay now" Jazzy tells me but never making eye contact with me. Hmmmm, I guess it's a personal issue. I completely understand.
"Come on, let's go do some lame trust drills that don't even work at all" I say and we head over toward the rest of our team.

"It has come to my attention that there seems to be a big problem occurring that is a definite no no. It goes against camp policies and just isn't safe. You all are probably wondering what I'm talking about. Well let just show you" Ms. Barbie tells us with a serious expression on her face. Wow, this is the first time I haven't seen her smile since I've been here. It's actually a little scary. Anyway, she continues on by raising her hand up high in the air while holding a packet of cigarettes. I raise my eye brows in surprise. I wasn't expecting that. Apparently other people weren't either; including the leaders.
"That’s right. I'm holding these awful things called cigarettes that you kids now a days seem to enjoy. But here at West Brooke's Soccer camp, smoking is not and I repeat NOT allowed. I know that your leaders went over the camp's do's and don’ts but they probably didn't tell you what would happen if you broke one of them. It's not information that people like to talk about. Anyway, if you do break a rule you will be automatically removed from this campsite and if you are attending West Brooke this year, you will be unable to join the team. This is a very serious offense. Don't treat it as if it's not. Your leaders will be paying extra close attention to all of you now, so I'd advice you not to try anything funny" Ms. Barbie tells us as we are sitting in the auditorium. You know, I'd never thought she had this in here. I'll give her some major props. All of us are dismissed to go back to our cabins to for free time before lights out.
"So what do you think of her little speech?" I ask Morgan and Jazzy as we're walking back. They look at each other and then shrug their shoulders.
"Surprised. Like everybody else" Morgan says.
"Yeah, even the leaders didn't know" Jazzy says obviously remembering their surprised looks.
"I know. I love how the head lady was like 'if your caught smoking, you'll be removed immediately.' Yeah right. if someone's caught they'll wish they'll be removed because they don't want to face the wrath of their leader" I say. Let me just say that I would be begging on my hands and knees to be removed from the camp. Fast. I can't even imagine what Shane would do if he found me smoking; especially me. Actually, I bet Shane wouldn't even be surprised. I notice that Morgan and Jazzy don't respond to me. I look over at them. They both have these weird looks on their faces. Like they're nervous or scared or something. I narrow my eyes in suspicion. Then something in my mind clicks. Noooo, they wouldn't. Or would they? I'm about to investigate to see if my suspicions are correct when I bump into someone roughly. It was like I was running into a tree or something. Don't ask me how I know this.
"Whoa, sorry about that. Didn't mean to knock you over" a guy says holding my arm to keep me from falling. I look up at the him. He has dark hair that is gelled into spikes at the front, a big goofy smile with dimples. He's cute but nowhere as hot as Shane. Ugh! Why do these thoughts pop into me head like that? They're getting annoying.
"Oh um its okay, I guess" I say not sure whether to be fine with it or pissed at him.
"Hey Morgan, how've you been? I haven't seen you since the end of school" the guy says smiling at Morgan. She smiles back at him with her cheeks blushing. I raise an eyebrow. What's that all about?
"I'm doing fine. Just been busy with, you know..... Stuff" she tells him shyly. Wow! What happened to her? Hello shy one. Bye bye super friendly.
"Hey, P.K., get over here! We need you" someone yells to him. P.K.?? What kinda weirdo name is that?
"Well I gotta go. I'll see you around Morgan. Bye Bailey" P.K. adds before hurrying off. I roll my eyes.
"Isn’t that the tenth leader to know your name?" Jazzy asks me. Don't remind me.
"It’s lovely, isn't it? Stupid Shane. I bet he told his friends all about me. 'Watch out for Bailey. She has some serious issues and is a trouble maker.' I'm going to tell him tomorrow to keep his mouth shut. Anyway, what was up with you and that guy?" I ask changing the subject to Morgan.
"What do you mean?" she asks pretending to my know what I'm talking about.
"Oh I think you know. Do you like him?" I ask with a small grin. Her eyes widen a little.
"No!" Morgan says defensively. My grin gets bigger.
"He’s the guy you like, isn't he? Awww, you have a crush. That's cute" I say teasing her. Her face gets red.
"Okay so I may like him a little but nothing major" Morgan tells me. Me and Jazzy don't believe her for one second.
"Sure, whatever you say" I say as we continue to walk to our cabin.
"I still can't believe another leader knew my name. It's one thing that a lot of kids know but leaders? That's taking it too far" I say with a hmph!
"Word gets around fast here" Morgan reminds me. I know that already. I still haven't found the person who told everyone about the fight me and Shane had last week.
"Well I'm still going to talk to Shane tomorrow. Who does he think he is?" I say before a new voice says
"someone who is curious as to know what I did to make you mad this time?" I turn my head to the right to see Shane and standing right next to him is that Becca girl.
 "Thanks a lot for eaves dropping" I tell him while folding my arms together.
"I wasn't trying to listen in on your conversation. I was here already and you were walking by. It's not my fault you were talking loudly. Anyway, what'd you want to talk to me about?" Shane asks me. I glare at him. I do not like him at the moment and especially not his side kick right next to him. You know for ex's, they sure are standing close. Why does that bother me?
"Morgan, what time is it?" I ask her. She looks at her watch.
"8:45?" she tells me not sure why I want to know.
"That’s funny. It's not tomorrow yet. Why should I tell you now?" I say back to him with a smirk. Shane has a small grin on his face and shaking his head.
"God, your such a brat! I don't know how you put up with her, Shane" Becca says to him while sticking up her nose at me.
"She’s nothing I can't handle. Just tell me now, Bailey" he says to me. Hmmm, should I?
"It’s not something extremely important. It can wait until later. Well, I guess it depends on how you look at it" I tell him. I think it's very important, but it probably won't be for Shane or Becca.
"Good, she can tell you tomorrow. Let's go. You said you'd help me run the errand for Mrs. Fey" Becca reminds him while pulling on his arm. Shane rolls his eyes.
"You go ahead and I'll catch up with you later" He says to her. Becca doesn't like this response at all. She let's go of his arm and stomps her foot with her arms on her hips. She looks pissed. You know, she kinda reminds me of someone. Except I can't put my mind on who. While they are having their little conversation, I turn toward Morgan and Jazzy.
"You guys can go to the cabin. I'll be there later after I talk to Shane" I whisper to them. Morgan looks disappointed.
"I wanted to stay and watch" she says. I roll my eyes.
"Too bad. Look if I hear any juicy details I'll tell you them later" I say.
"Fine and you better later" Morgan says and walks off with Jazzy. I turn back to Shane. Becca looks even more pissed that she has to leave and glares at me before stomping away. Shane sighs and turns back towards me.
"Come on, let's walk and talk. So tell me what's up?" he asks me as we start to walk slowly together. Thing about the issue at hand, Bailey.
"Do you know how many leaders know my name?" I ask while looking up at him.
"Um no" Shane says surprised by what I asked.
"Well as of right now, twenty leaders do. And I counted ten of them today" I tell him. Shane stops walking and turns to face me. I stop also and look up at him expectantly.
"So what's your point?" he asks me clearly not understanding. I roll my eyes and sigh.
"My point is that you need to quit gossiping to all your little friends about me. Like now!" I tell him. Shane raises his eyebrows at me.
"I don't talk about you with me friends or any leaders. In fact, I've never once said your name to anyone" he tells me. He's lying.
"I don't believe that at all. What about the first time we argued. You didn't talk about it with any leaders at the dinner table? Hmmmm?" I ask him.
"That wasn't me. That was Alex and I'm pretty sure he is the one who has been spreading your name around" Shane says. Oh really? Could he be the person who spread the fight me and Shane had to everybody?
"Well has Alex spread anything else about me and you before? Like about our fight last week? Because apparently everybody knows all the details about it “I say to Shane quietly. He steps closer to me. So close that I can smell his him scent. (Sigh) he smells sooooo good. Wait, I sound like a creeper. Stop it, Bailey.
"What are you talking about?" Shane asks me back just as quietly with some concern. Should I tell him?
"Well I found out that-" I start to say before I'm interrupted AGAIN.
"Well what's this? Are you two at it again?" a voice sys next to Shane

 
Shane looks at Alex next to him.
"Alex, you and I need to have a talk" Shane says while folding his arms. Alex looks surprised.
"What did I do?" He asks while shrugging his shoulders. Shane's clearly not happy. Alex raises his eyebrows in confusion. I almost smirk. The tables are turned for a leader, aren't they? Suddenly a girl walks up with braided pigtails. Oh hey, it's that Pippy long stockings girl. Her arms are full of supplies; probably for tomorrow’s activities.
"Hey Alex, you’re supposed to be helping me not goofing around. Hi Shane" she says smiling at him and then she noticed me. Pippy's smile quickly drops.
"Oh. Is she in trouble?" she asks disapprovingly. Does it look like I am? Sheesh, people assume too much.
"No but apparently I am. What did I do, Shane?" Alex asks again, looking even more confused. Shane sighs.
"Alex, you know you have a big mouth, right?" he asks him. Alex looks surprised for a second before his signature grim appears on his face.
"You see, I wouldn't say I have a big mouth. I just like to get all the facts and in order to do that you have to asks questions and receive answers. Kind of like and exchange. I'll give you this piece of information if you do the same for me" he says grinning. Shane just stares at him as if he is a hopeless cause; which I have to agree with.
"So in other words, you have a big mouth" Pippy says, her face matching Shane's.
"No!!" Alex says defending himself.
"Yes, you do. Alex, did you tell anybody else about Bailey? Anything at all?" Shane asks him. Alex thinks for a minute.
"No, I haven't. The only people who I've told is P.K. and Spencer, but you were with me. Remember that time during the night you first got pissed at Bailey last week?" he tells Shane. Oh I remember that night all right.
"That’s it, Alex? Because apparently Bailey's the talk of the camp" Shane says. That's right. I definitely am for sure. Like I'm a celebrity or something.
"How do you know? She could be lying" Pippy says looking suspiciously at me. I glare at her.
"Yeah, how do you know?" Alex agrees, probably trying to save his ass. Shane obviously doesn't like to be tested but before he can respond to this change of events a new guy walks to the group.
"What are you guys doing?" the guy asks and then he sees me and his eyes light up.
"hey, you’re Bailey" he says looking me up and down in awe as if I was a new dog breed.
"Yes, I'm Bailey. Should I wear a name tag so that everyone knows for sure or should I shout it to the whole wide world?" I say folding my arms and looking away pissed. The guy backs away with his hands up in surrender.
"The rumors are true" he whispers to Pippy as he walks away. She doesn't seem too surprised by what I said. What Rumors? What's that all about?
"You were saying?" Shane asks Alex.
"Okay, so you were right but I did NOT talk about Bailey to anyone. I swear! I only said it to P.K. and Spencer and you and I both know that they wouldn't pass it around" Alex says helplessly trying to convince Shane. Shane rolls his eyes and sighs.
"Fine, then who did" he asks. Alex shrugs.
"Well people have ears in case you didn't notice. Someone could have heard us and passed it around" Alex answers. Ugh! Anyone could have done it. Great. Back to nowhere. Shane an Alex doesn’t notice Pippy sneak away. I wonder where she's off to. Hmmm, interesting.
"Maybe but for now I blame you" Shane says with a smirk.
"You suck! Anyway, what were you two talking about before I got here?" Alex asks grinning. He has a big mouth and is extremely nosy. I roll my eyes.
"Why? So you can just spread it around?" I ask him with attitude. His grim gets bigger and he looks impressed.
"Ooooh, you’re a feisty one. I like it. Good match for you, Shane" he says jabbing Shane in the ribs with his elbow. Me and Shane look at him like he is crazy.
Me? A good match for Shane? As in dating?? Yeah right!!!! I better get out of her before this gets more embarrassing.
"Umm well I'm going to leave now. Thanks for the chit chat" I say and quickly walk away. I wonder what's up with all the leaders back there. Was it like leader head quarters? Maybe that's their cabin area. I continue to walk to my cabin. Free time is probably almost over. Straight to bed for me. I'm a few steps away from the cabin when I start to smell something funny. That's weird. I follow the scent around to be back of the cabin. My mouth drops. OMG!!! This can't be happening.

 
Morgan! Jazzy! What the hell!!!" I exclaim shocked. The two of them jump startled. They look at me guiltily. I narrow my eyes at them.
"why are you two smoking?" I ask them while walking closer to them. Both of them try to hide their cigarettes from me behind their backs.
"It’s not what it looks like" Jazzy says to me.
"Then what does it look like?" I ask. It better be a good reason.
"Um well we just wanted to try it; you know and were not the only ones who smoke around here. A lot of people do. Even people in our cabin; like Zoe and Megan" Morgan tells me. And that makes it okay since a lot of people do it? I don’t think so!
"Where’d you get the cigs?" I ask them next.
"Zoe and Megan each had a packet and we all share it" Jazzy tells me. I roll my eyes. I can't believe they're teaming up with Paris and Nicole; technically speaking.
"Thanks for leaving me out on this" I tell them. They look even guiltier.
"It’s just that you've been getting noticed a lot and not in a good way so we didn't want you to accidentally blow our cover. No offense or anything" Morgan explains to me apologetically. It's not my fault I'm getting all this attention.
"Well I'll have you know that I wouldn't have blown your covet because I wouldn't be caught dead smoking those death traps, but it hurts to know that you don't trust me. Thanks a lot" I say pissed turning around and walk into the cabin. Some friends they are. I hear Morgan and Jazzy follow me but I ignore them. What total losers. If they want to kill themselves then go right on ahead. I could care less. I don’t talk to them for the rest of the night.
The Next Afternoon:
"good work today guys. You showed slot of effort. You can hut the showers now" Shane says dismissing us. Finally!! This heat is killing me. I hurry to get my water bottle so I can get the heck out of here for two reasons: one because I'm hot and sweaty and want a shower and two because I don't want Morgan or Jazzy speaking to me. They've tried all day but I continue to ignore them. They deserve it. I bend over for my bottle and stand up straight, but I must have done it a little too fast because I suddenly feel light headed and swerve a bit. I'm dizzier than I think because a hand grabs my arm to steady my body.
"Easy, Bailey. You okay?" Shane asks me. I realize that the hand that grabbed me is his. He helps me sit down on the bench.
"Yeah, just a little dizzy is all" I tell him. Shane sits down next to me.
"Are you sure? Your face is really red. How much water have you been drinking?" he asks me grabbing my water bottle but notices it is empty. Shane gives me a disapproving look. I look up at him innocently.
"Bailey, why's your bottle empty?" he asks me. Because I drank all the water. Duh!
"I didn't refill it yet" I tell him. He hands my bottle back to me.
"You need to keep refilling it constantly. You'll get dehydrated if you don't. I don't want you passing out in me" Shane says. What? Is he a doctor or something? I roll my eyes.
"What if I do?" I ask.
"Then I'd have to carry you to the infirmary" he tells me. Actually, that doesn't sound too bad. Ugh! Bad thought. I should start counting these things.
"I won't pass out. Sheesh, you don't have to worry about me" I tell him annoyed. Shane grins slightly.
"Of course, I do. You’re on my team" he says. I look up at him and our eyes connect. They're there for a second too long. I blink and look away with a small blush on my already red face. What the hell is going on? Snap out of it Bailey! You don't like him.
"Here, take this water bottle and drink it" Shane says handing it to me and helping me stand up.
"Eew! I don't want to drink your germs" I say to him in disgust. Well actually- Don't even finish that thought Bailey. He rolls his eyes.
"It’s a new bottle" he says tired of my diva ways.
"Oh. Well I just kidding" I say opening up the bottle. No, I wasn't but he doesn't know that.
"Sure you were" he says not believing me. Okay never mind. He clearly does. I thank Shane for the water and after he makes sure I'll drink all of it, he lets me go shower. As I'm leaving the field, I see two guys watching me. Wait, it's Reddy and his BFF. Why are they spying on me? Hmmmm....weird. Once I'm in the shower, my body starts to cool off. The water feels so good. I'm washing my hair when I hear someone right outside my stall. My heart starts to beat fast. I've watched scary movies before. There is always a killer with an axe standing outside, waiting to kill you. What should I do? Against my better judgment, I decide to open the curtain but at the same time someone says my name. I scream causing the person (or persons) to scream also.
"Bailey! What are you screaming for? It's just us" Jazzy says placing her hand over her chest. The real question is, what are you doing outside my stall? Total creepers.
"What do you want?" I ask then coldly.
Morgan takes a deep breath and says
"we really need your help"

 
"oh really. What kind of help?" I ask hiding behind the shower curtain.
"Well, we don't know if you’re going to want to or not but you seem like the right kind of person to do it" Jazzy says nervously. I narrow my eyes. Why am I right for whatever they need?
"Keep talking" I ask more interested now. Morgan and Jazzy look at each other.
"We need to get back at someone. For revenge" Morgan tells me. I raise an eyebrow. I like where this is going. The only problem is that I really don't want to keep discussing this while I'm naked in the shower.
"Meet me at our regular sitting area in 20 minutes" I tell them and shut the curtain closed. I wonder what this is all about. I guess I'll soon find out.
"So what do you want me to do exactly?" I ask as soon as I sit down at the picnic table where Jazzy and Morgan are waiting.
"You’re actually going to help us?" Jazzy asks me hoping I'm not mad at them anymore. Ha! In their dreams.
"Maybe. Depends on what it is" I tell them coolly. Jazzy's shoulders slump disappointedly.
"Here’s what happened. So Zoe and Megan had cigarettes and were giving them away to people who wanted them but for a price. Basically if you want one, you have to do or give them something in exchange. Me and Jaz didn't want to be slaves so we told them that and they got pissed. Now we don't have access to anymore cigarettes. But we thought about it and know that it is for the best. You had every right to be mad at us. We were dumb and stupid and shouldn’t have left you out. And I'll totally understand if you don't want to help us. It's just that we don't want to tell on them and be labeled as tattletales but want to get them back somehow" Morgan says totally sorry. Jazzy looks the same way. I'm not just going to forgive them right away just because they said sorry. They need to suffer more.
"And you want me to get revenge how?" I ask.
"Zoe and Megan get there stash of cigarettes from Reddy and his friend. Megan keeps them in her cabin. Sooooo someone needs to sneak into Reddy's cabin and get a couple of packs and place them around for someone to see. Like a leader to find. Then they'll get into so much trouble. We thought you could do it easily" Morgan continues. That is easy. Sneaking is my middle name, in case you didn't know. I move like a cat....or a ninja....or superwoman. Yeah, I like that one. I can bust Zoe and Megan and at the same time Reddy and his BFF. It's a double bonus. I've made up my mind.
"I'll do it" I say with a grin.
"Really? You will?" Jazzy asks excitedly. I nod my head. I just said I would, didn't I?
"Your not mad anymore?" Morgan asks. I shake my head no.
"Nope, but I want you to know that you were complete idiots for smoking." I tell them with a glare. They bow their heads in shame.
"We know and we're sorry" Morgan says again. I stand up.
"So how are you going to get the packs and when?" Jazzy asks standing up also.
"Tomorrow. The sooner the better. I don't know how yet" I say heading to our cabin.
"Do you need our help?" Morgan asks walking beside me.
"Maybe but as of right now I got it all taken care of" I say with an evil smirk. Tomorrow is definitely going to be fun.

 
Next Day- lunchtime:
"I don't think you should go through with this anymore. I'm nervous for you. What if you get caught? I'd hate for you to get into trouble" Jazzy says looking scared. We're eating lunch and my plan is about to go into play.
"Jazzy, calm down. Everything will be okay. Stay positive. Negative feeling may cause it to mess up" I tell her. I stand up and head to the trash can to throw away my food. On the way back, I stop at the food bar and grab am empty cup. I put handfuls of cheese, sour cream, ketchup, mustard, and cookies into the cup and mix it all around. I then cover it with a napkin. Just as I'm heading back to the table, the bell rings signaling that it's time to head out to our teams.
"Let’s go" I say excited. Morgan and Jazzy groan. We get to our team and I head straight for Shane.
"Shane?" I say weakly and holding my stomach. He turns around quickly and looks down at me, his eyes full of concern.
"What’s wrong, Bailey?" he asks me. I groan.
"I don't feel so good. My head is killing me and my stomach is really queasy. I think I need to go lay down in my cabin" I tell him, continuing to groan. Shane places his hand on my forehead.
"You don't look that great. Come on, I'll take you to the infirmary. Do you want me to carry you?" he asks me. My heart skips a beat. As tempting as that may sound (bad thought number two) I can't let him take me there. One reason is that I'm faking it and another reason is because I can’t sneak out of the infirmary. But don't worry you guys, I got this all under control; I think. I shake my head no.
"Nooo, don't take me there please. I HATE going to the doctors. I just way to lie down in my bed. PLEASE!!" I beg him as if this is my last wish before I die. I make sure to give him big Doe eyes. Who can resist those? No one, not even Shane. Ha-ha, sucker! He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
"Okay" he says before opening his eyes and has an 'I know I'm going to regret this later' look on his face. That's what happens if you fall under the spell of my doe eyes.
"Remember Bailey, I'm going to be frequently checking up on you to see how your doing" Shane reminds me as I peek up under the sheets of my bed. I nod my head in understanding. Shane walked me to my cabin and helped me into bed. He gives me one last look to make sure I'm okay before leaving. I wait in my bed for 10 minutes before springing up. It's show time! Since I don't know when Shane plans on checking in on me, I'll be using Morgan and Jazzy's help. They'll text me to let me know when Shane is heading my way. See, I totally got this. I quickly sneak out the door and head towards cabin number 15. Reddy's home at camp. When I find it, I peek inside to make sure no one is in there. Nope, coast is clear. I head inside but don't get very far because I trip and fall over a suitcase. I nearly broke my leg. Wouldn't it suck if I actually did and Shane comes and finds me missing while I'm here with a broken leg in a disgusting boy’s cabin? Thank god, that didn't happen. I look around. Damn, this place is a pigsty. Clothes, bags, pillows, and sweaty socks are all over the room. Ugh! Boys are a different breed. Sometimes I wonder how they are even human. I carefully walk to each bed and try to find the stash of cigarettes. I'm afraid to open some suitcases in case trapped animals pop out. I get to the last bed farthest from the door and find a bag that looked like it was kicked under it. I open it and find gold. Jackpot! There are 3 packs of cigarettes. I open up a pack and start putting cigarettes under his pillow. I guess where his BFF and do the same to his bed too. I continue to place cigs around the room, like on the floor and near the door. They aren't exactly obvious but you can see them if your looking for it. I place the last cig from the pack outside the entryway and throw the package by a nearby tree.
2 more drills before water break. Shane will probably check on you. You have about 15 minutes. Good Luck! - Morgan
I read the text and hurry to Megan's cabin two down. I do the same thing to her cabin as I did to Reddy's. Except I place most of the cigarettes under her pillow since I don't know how many people actually smoke in here. I put the second empty cigarette package near her door. I quickly hurry back to my cabin. I'll put the last pack under Zoe's pillow. As I'm walking back, I turn around to make sure no leader or adult is walking behind me. Good, I'm all alone; or so I thought. Since I'm looking behind me and not in front like I'm supposed to be, I'm not aware of someone standing in the path I was going. I walk right into the person. Shit!!!
"Hey Bailey- I mean hey random camper who I don't know the name of" P.K. Says quickly correcting himself. I resist the urge to roll my eyes. At least he tried to pretend to not know my name. He gets a B for effort. P.K. looks down at me totally confused. Uh oh.....
"What are you doing on this side of the camp ground right now? Aren’t you supposed to be with your team?" he asks me.
"No, I'm sick so I was in my cabin lying down" I tell him. His eyebrows furrow together as he thinks about what I just said. I thinly he's a little on the slow side, but he looks cute though.
"You don't look sick to me" P.K. says looking at me. His eyes turn from confusion to suspicion and that is never a good sign. Especially for a leader.
"Um I got better really fast?" I try my best to convince him but it came out more of a question. By this time, P.K. has morphed into a leader you don't to mess with; no wait that's Shane. P.k. looks like a leader who knows you are keeping a secret and wants to hear it. Not as threatening, But I still don't Wang to mess with him.
"I'm going to go find Shane and tell him just how sick you are. If I was you, I'd start thinking fast" P.k. tells me and then walks away. Probably to the field where Shane is. I practically run back to my cabin head straight toward my bed. I squat down and grab the cup of food I made at the end of lunch. I pick up the spoon I brought also and start shoving the food into my mouth. It tasted revolting. You’re probably disgusted right now and I don't blame you. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I vowed that I would never make myself throw up again since I would do that to lose weight. That is why I'm eating gross food and I'll get sick and barf it all out naturally. I grimace as I swallow the last of it just when I hear footsteps and P.k's voice outside the door.
"I'm telling you Shane, she's faking it. I saw her AND talked to her" he says. I dive into my bed and throw the covers over my head. The door opens and I assume that Shane and P.K. walk in.
"Bailey" I hear Shane say and then the sheets are pulled away from me. I slowly open my eyes as if I'm just waking up.
"What’s going on?" I ask weakly.
"Bailey, have you been here this whole time?" Shane asks me. All I do is nod my head and groan. I close my eyes but I leave them open a tiny bit. I see P.K. roll his eyes.
"Where would I go?" I ask acting clueless.
"Well P.K. Here says he ran into you by the boys’ cabins and that you looked just fine to him" Shane says. I can tell he'd undecided on who to believe. Hopefully me.
"Does it look I'm Bette? I feel terrible and would you pass me the trash can? I might barf" I say groaning again. Shane gets it for me and puts it by my bed. He then pulls P.K. To the other side if the room. I can only hear bits and pieces of the conversation.
"are you sure....not blind.....wouldn't lie....I know, but there are tons of blondes here.....faker.....don't know who to believe......she's lying....she looks sick....l they say to each other. While they are chit chatting over there, I'm here feeling sick. No but for real this time. My stomach is churning and I have the weird feeling in my mouth that is letting me know that I'm about to barf. Like now! I grab the trash can and heave into it. Shane and P.K.'s attention is averted to me. P.K. looks confused again. He's probably wondering if his mind is playing tricks on him and it really was another blonde. Shane hurries over to me and helps me up as I continue to bark my guts out.
"P.K., go tell Alex to keep an eye on my team for me. I'm taking Bailey to the infirmary" he orders as we walk pass P.K. on the way out. Shane has his arm tightly around my body keeping me upright and walking as I hold the trash can to myself. I so knee this plan would work. I got revenge on the evil trio for Morgan and Jazzy and I didn't get caught. AND I'm touching Shane right now. Eek!!(Bad thought 3) Sometimes I don’t know what to do with me brain.
Later that night:
I stumble out of the infirmary. It's night time and I couldn't see where I was going.
"I'm fine. Don't mind me. I just wasn't looking where I was going" I say to the nurse behind me looking worried. I smile at her and walk away. I want to get far, far away from that place. I wasn't lying when I told Shane that I HATED doctors; I really do. I have bad memories. Anyway, I start walking to the bathrooms before heading to my cabin to get my shower stuff. I really have to pee. I've been in the infirmary since the afternoon. I missed dinner and night activities. That gross food really made me sick. When I get to the bathrooms, it's crowded with girls. What's going on? Girls are all talking at once and it's really loud in here. I make my way in and ask a girl near the sinks.
"What’s all the madness about?" I ask her. She gives me a weird look.
"Um where have you been? You must be blind" she says. I roll my eyes.
"I've been in the infirmary sick" I tell her. She sort of scoots away from me before saying
"oh. Well something big has happened. The Leaders are sooooo pissed. They are checking all the cabins right now.......for cigarettes. Apparently a TON of people were hiding them and they are in butt loads of trouble; literally" Uh oh…….
Why do I have a bad feeling in my stomach? I keep asking myself this as I hurry my way to my cabin. The whole camp ground is acting like a police raid is occurring. Groups of kids are standing outside their cabins talking to each other looking nervous. I pass by a lot of leaders along the way too. They all look mega PISSED. I really don't want to see what my leader looks like at the moment. Bad feeling gets bigger. I slow my pace down when I get closer to my cabin. I really don't want to go inside but another part of me want to go in and see what's going on. My curiosity side wins. I grab a hold of the handle and pull it down slowly. Once it's down all the way, I gently and quietly open the door. It doesn't make a sound and I'm able to slip in the room unnoticed. I've had a ton of practice at this. Now that I'm in room, I have the opportunity to see what is happening. Two leaders’ backs are facing me and in front of them are all the girls in my cabin looking very, very sorry. One of the leaders is Shane but I don't know the other one. By the way, what's up with all the good looking leaders here? Sheesh, they could all be models. Anyway, they still don't know that I'm in the room but Morgan and Jazzy do. When they notice that I'm here, they give me wide eyed looks and subtly shake their heads. What's that supposed to mean? I don't read head language.
"You don't understand, Shane. They all pressured me into doing it. It's not my fault" Zoe's pixie head says into her hands. She's crying uncontrollably. Looks like we have another faker in this room. Oh and I totally forgot about her pixie nickname. I’m going to start using it again.
"Mhmmmm. I find that hard to believe" Shane tells her while looking at the unknown leader and rolling his eyes.
"What? Did they all tie you down and force you to smoke?" the unknown dude asks smirking at Ms. Pixie. She glares up at him, knowing that her crying ordeal isn't working.
"It’s true" Ms. Pixie tells them angrily. The leaders look down amused at her. She folded her arms together and pouts while crying. But isn't doing it as hard. Way to be obvious, Pixie. I snicker but then cover it up as a cough which totally defeats the point of me being quiet. Everyone's eyes turn on to me. Wow, okay. I'm definitely put on the spot.
"Thanks a lot for eaves dropping" Shane tells me grinning. I start walking towards them.
"Well it is my cabin after all. You just happen to be in it. Plus it's not my fault your talking so loud" I say grinning back and stand between Shane and that mystery guy.
"You feeling better" Shane asks me. I nod my head looking up at him. He looks tired, relieved, and something else I can't put my finger on. Oh and you can add pissed on the list too.
"It’s all of her fault too. She was the leader!!" Pixie bursts out yelling. I give her a look. Excuse me? What did she just say?
"That’s complete bullshit! And you know it. I think smoking is sick and disgusting and that anyone who decides to do it has some serious problems. Do you know what cigarettes do to your lungs? Turn them black. You'll die or have a hole in your throat later in life. Do you want that to happen? I doubt it. I didn't even know that any of you were smoking. Apparently I was the only one who wasn't stupid enough to try it" I tell them pissed. The leaders are impressed by my little lecture.
"You know, I really expected this from Bailey but not from you guys" Shane tells them. What’s that supposed to mean? Jerk face!! I turn and glare at him.
"Kidding" he says grinning while putting his arm around my shoulders. I try not to grin also. Shane has a sense of humor. I like it. (Bad thought number 4).
"Bailey just made our job a lot easier. Since she gave you the perfect lecture about smoking, we don't have to give you" the mystery dude says. See, I definitely have my good moments at times even though that may be hard to believe.
"So now it's decision time" Shane tells the girls all serious. The other leader matches his expression. I’m getting really nervous and I'm not even in trouble.
"And it's time for you to go now, Bailey" Shane adds. What? It was just getting good.
"But where am I supposed to go?" I ask him. There are scary creatures outside the mystery guy walks to an empty bed and sits down.
"Go sit outside on the steps. Don't worry, no animals going to get you" Shane tells me while gently pushing me toward the door. Pshh, knowing my luck I'll probably get eaten by a bear or something. I quickly grab my phone and head out the door. I give Morgan and Jazzy a good luck look before shutting the door. They're going to need it.
"Hi mom" I say into my cell. Since I had nothing else to do for awhile, I decided to give my mom a call while I'm sitting outside. 

"Oh my gosh, Bailey! Are you okay? I got a call from your camp saying you were sick" my mom tells me worriedly. I roll my eyes. I'm glad she cares for once. 

"Yeah I'm fine now. I think it was just something I ate" I tell her. 

"Said it was something she ate. She's fine now" I hear my mom say to someone. No doubt Ethan, my new stepdad. He doesn't like me at all. Ethan thinks I'm a nuisance, a bother, and something he doesn't wish to see every day. He was really, really happy when I wanted to go to this camp. He doesn't see me for a whole month. Don't worry the feelings mutual. I can't stand him or his two spoiled daughters. They all hate me. Why do you think I’m going to boarding school this year? To get away from them and my blind mom who doesn't realize what's actually going on. We're one big happy family as far as she's concerned. 

"Ethan said he's glad you’re better and that we won't have to cancel out beach trip" my mom tells me. Oh I'm sure he's glad. Everyone’s been looking forward to going to Hawaii all year; except me. I jumped at the chance to get away and I'm glad that I did. 

"Well I'm glad that I wasn't an inconvenience to you all" I tell her sarcastically. My usual mood is back. And by usual, I mean grumpy and sarcastic. I'm always like that around my family and I'm surprised to say that it went away ever since I came to this camp. My mom sighs. 

"Please don't start. I just want one good conversation with you. So how do you like soccer camp?" she asks me. I stand up and decide to investigate what's going on inside my cabin. I walk to the closest window and peek in. 

"it's really fun. I'm making new friends and learning new things. Also this place is full of surprises" I tell my mom while peering in. Shane's back is to me, but I can see he is spanking Morgan. Across the room, the mystery dude is spanking the book worm girl. I also see that Jazzy has been spanked already and the fuzzy haired girl has too. They all are crying. Man, I'd hate to be in their place right now. 

"Well that's good. I'm glad you’re having so much fun" my mom tells me happy. I walk back to the steps and sit down again. 

"Oh by the way mom, this Sunday is parent visit day. I thought that since you’re going to be leaving the next day for Hawaii that you could come visit me" I say with hope. This is the first time in a really long time that I have asked my mom to do something. Most of the time she doesn't care, or she has something more important; like Ethan. 

"Oh" she says surprised and clearly touched. Yeah, it's a shocker, huh mom? I then hear her whispering to Ethan about what I just asked. How long does it take to say yes or no?

"Honey? I don't think I can come make it on Sunday" my mom tells me. What's the excuse this time?

"Why not?" I ask her, hoping she doesn't hear the hurt in my voice. I don’t know why I'm so disappointed this time. She always blows me off. Why do I care this time?

"Well Ethan said that we'd be too busy getting ready since we're leaving the next day. Probably doing last minute shopping and stuff like that. He doesn't think it be a good idea to drive all that way to come see you when I could be doing more useful stuff for our trip. I'd rush everything in at the last minute late at night. You know how stressed I get" she tells me. Do you see now why I hate Ethan? I totally think he brain washes my mom. His way can do no wrong according to her. He is a total asshole. 

"But you can just come visit me in the morning. It wouldn't be that long" I tell her hoping to change her mind but know it's totally useless. 

"I can't sweetie. Ethan, Amy and Jessica want to go shopping for last minute things. You know that Ethan only likes to go shopping in the morning to beat the crowds" my mom reminds me. How can I forget? 

"Can’t they go without you?" I ask, getting mad. This is unbelievable!! Is she for real?

"No, it's a family event. We want to do it together" she says. But what about me? 

"Whatever mom. Just thought I'd ask to see if you've changed while I was away but I see that you haven't. Have fun on your wonderful 'family' vacation in Hawaii" I say angrily and hang up on her. God, my mom is ridiculous. If it wasn't my life, I wouldn't believe it. It seems fake, but in reality it isn't; unfortunately. Before I realize what was happening, tears are streaming down my face. Why does everything in my life suck? Can't anything good happen for once. My mom calls me back but I ignore her. I close my watery eyes and hope all of this badness will just disappear. 

"Bailey, wake up" I hear someone say while shaking me gently. I sit up fast in a daze. 

"What’s happening?" I ask as my eyes refocus. I look up to see Shane standing over me. 

"You feel asleep" he tells me. No wonder my neck feels sore. I feel asleep on the stairs. 

"Oh. Um is it okay to go in there now?" I ask referring to my cabin. Shane nods his head and holds out his hand. I grab it and he helps me up. 

"Go to bed and gets some sleep. You gonna be able to play tomorrow?" he asks me. I nod. 

"Yeah, I’m fine now. I'm not sick anymore" I tell him. Thank god for that too. I don't think I can stand to barf again. I head up the stairs. 

"Well good night. Oh and Bailey?" he says. I turn around to Shane and see that he is holding the cup I had all that disgusting food in. Oh shit! I thought I was safe. 

"Don’t eat anymore food in the cabin please. I'd hate for you to get sick or something" he saying with a grin. 

"Yeah sorry about that. I won't eat anymore foods in here. It would be terrible if I got sick. Anyway, Night night" I say before quickly turn around and go inside my cabin so he couldn't see my grin. Although I'm pretty sure Shane saw it. I get into my pj's and get into bed really quietly so I won't wake anybody. I snuggle into my covers trying not to laugh. Why is it that whenever I'm with Shane now, I always manage to smile? Life's full of mysteries; that's for sure. 

I feel awful, just awful. I can’t eat, sleep, or think straight. I'm dying. Someone just kill me now......well okay, it's not that bad. I do feel extremely awful though. 

"Will you cheer up, please?!?!" Morgan exclaims while finishing her cereal. I groan and cover my eyes with my hand. 

"How can I when I see all these people sitting with sore asses?" I ask her. She rolls her eyes. 

"Not everyone got spanked you know" Morgan tells me. I find that hard to believe. 

"Yeah, everyone but me" I say groaning again by guilt. Okay, apparently there were a ton of people who were smoking and hiding cigarettes. Not just Reddy and Paris and Nicole. So when a leader found the cigarettes that I placed in their cabins, all the leaders then decided to check everyone's cabins. And I guess that was a good idea because there was pretty much at least one person from every cabin who smoked and got caught. So let's just say that I'm sure many leaders’ hands are sore today. And to make it worse, Morgan and Jazzy got caught because Pixie snitched on them. When Shane asked them if that was true.....well, they are

Very good liars so they told the truth. That's why they got spanked last night. I'll admit that I'm surprised that the book worm and fuzzy haired smoked too. I totally didn't expect them. Looks may be deceiving, that's for sure. 

"Well on the bright side, Shane can use you as a good example today" Jazzy says hoping to brighten up my mood. It totally didn't work. 

"I don't deserve it! I don't know what's wrong with me all of the sudden. Normally I wouldn't care that I got all these people in trouble, but for some reason I do now. It's just that every time I see someone sit down and they wince, I get extra guilty. What's wrong with me?" I say and put my hand in my arms. My hearts usually made out if stone. Why is it suddenly breaking?

"Hmmm, maybe it has something to do with Shane" Morgan tells me. I lift my head up and look at her confused. 

"What are you talking about?" I ask her. 

"I don't know. Maybe you feel bad that you lied to Shane and if be found out, he would be mad and disappointed" Morgan tells me next. I roll my eyes. 

"You wanted me to lie. It was your idea, remember?" I ask. 

"Don’t get me wrong, I am sooooo thankful and happy that you for back at those stupid jerks. They totally got what they deserved. So did we but what I'm just trying to say is that you subconsciously want Shane to be happy with you and you feel guilty now because you know that Shane wouldn't be if be found out. You see what I'm saying?" Morgan asks me making sure I got her confusing words. She's might be crazy. 

"Why would I want to make Shane happy?" I ask her folding my arms together. Morgan and Jazzy give each other looks that I didn't care for. 

"Because you like him" Jazzy says with a smile. Okay, they're officially both crazy. 

"What!! I don't think so" I tell them. 

"Oh come on. If last night wasn't obvious, I don't know what is. And from the looks of things, Shane likes you too" Morgan says smiling also. I don't know why they're smiles bother me but they do a whole lot. 

"Okay first of all, I do not like Shane. And second of all, your one to talk Morgan. Ms. Maybe I like him a little but nothing major" I say annoyed. I sooo do not like Shane. Or do I?

"What’s that supposed to mean? You like Shane a lot more than I like P.K. Anyway, my explanation for you seems logical. Most of the time I don't believe the stuff they put in those teen magazines but this time it seems pretty legit" Morgan says defending herself. I roll my eyes. She would read those dorky magazines. Probably at the orthodontic's office. I glare at her. 

"Okay guys, chill. No need to get worked up this early this morning. Morgan, that may or may not be why the reason Bailey's guilty. Bailey, Morgan may or may not like P.K. So everyone calm down. And stop feeling so guilty, Bailey!" Jazzy says in one huge breath. Me and Morgan take deep breaths and calm down a little. I huff. 

"Okay, I'll try but I don't make any promises" I say dreading today's practice. I think back at what Morgan said earlier. I'm NOT guilty because of Shane. Psshh! She's so wrong. (Sigh) let's just hope I can make it through the day without cracking because I don't know what I'm going to do if that happens. 

 "So it was a pretty eventful night last night for some of you, wasn't it?" Shane asks us at our team practice later that day. He's standing in front of us as most of the people in our team look down at their feet embarrassed. The evil trio especially because they think it's their fault everyone's cabins were searched. 

"Well that's unfortunate for you because I don't feel like doing much today since I was up late. So that means this team's going to be running laps for the entire practice. Everyone except Bailey and Shirley. They're the only ones who were smart enough not to smoke. They get to skip the rest of practice and do whatever they want to since they are the only smart ones here apparently. Which is extremely sad" Shane tells us, actually more like lectures us, as he stares everyone down with his dark glare. I'm not even in trouble and yet I feel so ashamed of myself. I think the reason Shane looks more threatening today is because he is tired and grumpy. So in other words: don't mess with him. He continues to stare at us for what seems like forever before saying

"I better not catch any of you sneaking off in the woods or else you'll be running again on Monday. Understand?" Shane asks his team. Oh yeah, tomorrows Sunday, which means its parents day. Ugh! Everyone quickly nods their head. 

"Start running" He says and points to the wooded paths. It’s like a herd of animals trying to escape from a predator. The predator being Shane. Shirley (what is up with names at thus camp?) walks happily over to the bench and grabs her water bottle. I however isn't so happy. The guilt seriously is eating me alive. I got to do something or else I'll be dead in minutes. 

"um.....you know, I don't exactly like doing nothing so maybe I'll just....um run with them. You know, for exercise" I say and quickly move past Shane toward the path. I didn't get very far. 

"whoa, whoa, whoa. What is going on here? Are you sick again?" Shane asks me before I could walk past him. I can’t look him in the eyes. Seriously, what is going on with me? Stone heart, Bailey, stone heart. Remember that. 

"what?" I ask innocently. Shane rolls his eyes. 

"you want to run? For the whole practice? Coming from the girl who acted like she was dying the last time you ran more than you wanted" he tells me unconvinced. 

"well I have been getting into better shape" I say. And hopefully this will ease my guilt a little. 

"mhmm. That's why you want to run for three hours?" he asks me. I nod my head. 

"well even if I did believe you, I still wouldn't let you run. It’s your free day, Bailey. You've earned it. You and Shirley just go and do whatever you want, okay?" Shane tells me with an amused grin. I roll my eyes. Ugh! Fine, jerk face. Even though I don't want to though. I grab my stuff and head of with Shirley. As we're walking back to the cabins, she keeps glancing over and looking at me. 

"what?" I ask irritated. She jumps slightly. Shirley is the quiet and goody two shoes type. 

"nothing. It's just that I'm surprised that you wanted to run" she says. Join the club of Shane. 

"well I just wanted to because well....I kinda deserve to" I tell her. Why did I just tell her that? My mind appears to be broken today. 

"why?" she asks curiously. I look over at her suspiciously. Hmmm, should I tell her? Can she be trusted? Why not? I can always get back at her if she does. I stop walking and turn to face her. 

"I'll tell you but you promise not to say a word to anyone or else" I warn her with a glare. She nods her head nervously. 

"okay, so I sort of caused all this smoking business to occur. You see, I faked sick to Shane and went to lie in my cabin. When I knew that the coast was clear, I sneaked out and went to two kids(I don’t actually know their real names) in our team's cabins because I knew that they were hiding cigarettes and placed them all around the room for a leader to find. Except I didn’t realize that so many people were hiding cigarettes all ready so I wasn't expecting everyone to get into trouble" I tell her. Although I do feel guilty about getting people in trouble, I still am really impressed and proud that my plan worked; as I knew that it would have anyway. 

"oh. Wow" Shirley says clearly shocked. 

"yup and I totally lied to Shane so many times. I'd be dead if he ever found out about it" I say to her thinking about what would happen if Shane ever really did find about what happened. My ass would be toast, that's for sure. Shirley's face suddenly gets pale and her eyes widen. She is looking at something behind me. I'm pretty sure it's a someone. I squeeze my eyes shut. Bad feeling just arrived. 

"Shane's behind me, isn't he?" I ask Shirley. This would only happen to me. 

"no, but I am" a voice says behind me. 

 I know who the new voice belongs to; a person I don’t like. I turn around and come face to face with Becca. She has her hands full with water bottles and has a smug smirk on her face. I narrow my eyes at her. Grrrr. I want to slap that look right off her smug little face. Except I don’t know why she's so smug. I don’t even know her. All I know is that she like me. I can tell by just the way she is looking at me. 

"Ohhh, I’m soooo scared" I say sarcastically. I’m gonna go hide under my bed. Who does she tae me for? A scaredy cat? My comment makes her mad at first but she quickly goes back to her smug look. 

"You definitely should be" Becca tells me in a warning voice. Her eyes are sparkle with excitement. Why is she enjoying this? I narrow my eyes even more suspiciously.

"How much did you hear?" I ask her. Becca now grins; in an evil way I might add.

"Enough to tell Shane. I’m sure he'd like to know all about your little adventure yesterday" Becca says nonchalantly before giving me a wicked(the evil kind) smirk and then hurries of to no doubt find Shane. Me and Shirley look at the spot where Becca just stood a few seconds ago. I blink a couple of times deciding my fate. Well, I’m officially screwed. Shirley looks at me wide eyed. 

"what are you going to do now?" she asks me. I gulp. Sit and wait around for my death. 

"I have no idea. What can I do? That bitch is going to tell Shane and he will obviously be pissed at me. So I guess I'll enjoy sitting down while I still can. Well, see you on Monday" I say and make my escape. I head to my cabin to get some clothes to change into after my shower. I grab some comfy sweats since I know I'll be needing them for later and a T shirt. I quickly head to the showers. I need to really clear my head. Once in there, I let the warm water relax me. Ugh! Stupid Becca. Who does she think she is? What does she have against me? I didn’t even do anything to her.....yet. I know for a fact that is quickly going to change. No one gets me in trouble and gets away with it. Great, I'm all pissed now. So much for a relaxing shower.

Okay, that's it!! I can't stand it any longer. I've been waiting here twenty minutes for Shane. I thought he'd be here by now. My stomach's in a knot in anticipation which is really weird because before I came to this camp I was fearless and was never told by anybody to do anything and now look at me. I'm a nervous wreck. I'm not scared though. That hasn't changed. As much as I dislike Shane.....at times, I know that he wouldn't hurt me besides making my ass sore. Speaking of Shane, I'm foil to go find him and see what's taking so long. I walk out of my canon and head on the path to the field where Shane is supposed to be. The camp area is pretty deserted right now since everybody is on the different fields. I'm walking in the woods on the path. I'm starting to get the heebie jeebies walking alone. I always think some creature is watching me. I hear a crack nearby and freeze. I look to where the noise came from and see a tall tree. I hear another crack and a tree branch falls. I freak out and hurry down the path at a fast pace. I swear I hear a four legged blonde eater running behind me. I look behind me to see if I'm correct. But I suddenly collide with somebody. I scream and jump back expecting it to be a monster or somebody but realize it's only Shane. Phew! It's not a monster. Wait, why am I glad to see him? Shane's probably pissed at me and is almost as bad as a monster. I look up at him warrior. Shane doesn't appear to be mad; in fact he is even giving me a small grin. Maybe Becca didn't tell him yet. 

"What’s the hurry Bailey? Afraid monsters were coming after you?" Shane asks me. I glare at him. 

"No! I was speed walking. I need my Dailey exercise since I don't have team practice today. What are you doing over here anyway?" I huff to him with my arms folded.

"I was actually looking for someone. Care to walk with me while I find them?" he asks me. What is up? Why isn't Shane mad? I nod my head and we start to walk down the path where I just came from. 

"So who are you looking for?" I ask looking up at him as I walk. Shane looks down at me for a second. 

"Oh nobody special. I just need to confirm some things with them" he says nonchalantly. Confirm some things? What exactly?

"Like what?" I ask him curiously. It’s probably confidential leader business and I want to hear all about. 

"You’re really nosy, but I'll tell you anyway" Shane says with a knowing smile. Please! I'm not nosy; I just like to get all the facts. That is NOT nosy. It isn't. 

"A friend of mine told me recently about some things that they heard happened recently. I didn't exactly believe them and wanted to know for sure if they are right or not" he continues. I glance up at him. Why is he being so mysterious? 

"What kind of things?" I ask curious. Shane looks down at me for a brief second with a thoughtful look on his face before stopping our walk to turn and face me. 

"If I tell you, you swear not to tell anyone. Not even your friends?" he asks me. I roll my eyes. Of course I won't tell anybody. Sheesh, I'm not like blabber mouth Alex. Hmmmm, I'll tell Morgan and Jazzy because they don't count. I mean, you always tell one person a huge secret. You can't keep a juicy secret to yourself. Plus I know that Morgan and jazzy won't tell anybody unlike some people here. 

"I swear. Now just tell me already!" I say impatiently. Shane grabs my arms and gently pulls me closer to him. Our bodies are practically touching. I breathe in and smell his scent that I unfortunately love. I wonder what cologne Shane uses because I want it. I'm also enjoying being this close to Shane. Don't ask me why. My brain is messed up at the moment. I lean my head back and look up at him. 

"A little while ago I was told that the reason people were caught with cigarettes was because someone framed them and set them up. It turns out that there were quite a few more people involved than they realized and got a whole lot of people in trouble" Shane whispers to me, looking into my eyes. Oh shit!!!! Don't blow your cover Bailey because he is onto you. I know for a fact that Becca told Shane and now the predator is alone with his prey; the prey being me. Great, now I'm toast. Except Shane doesn't appear to be mad or anything. Hmmm, maybe Becca didn't give him my name and Shane really doesn't know who did it. 

"Oh. Wow. That is some big stuff right there. So....do you know who did it?" I ask him, hoping that he doesn't and is totally clueless. 

"I was told a name or two. I'm not sure I believe it or not" he tells me with a shrug. My heart is beating fast. I need to know if he knows or not before my heart gives out. 

"Well who is it?" I ask nervously. Nice cover, Bailey. Shane looks down at me. 

"You tell me" he says. His whole demeanor has changed now. Ugh!! I wish I hadn't asked. Stupid me. 

 I stepped back away from Shane. What should I do now? Act innocent or just confirm what he said. I never go down without a fight.

"What’s that supposed to mean?" I ask Shane with my hands on my hips while trying to act pissed. I wasn't doing a very good job of it since I don't exactly mean it. 

"I think you know what I mean" He says with his arms folded. I huff while crossing my arms together and look away. The good thing is that Shane still doesn't appear to be mad at me. 

"Maybe I do. What's it to you?" I ask him. Shane steps closer toward me while putting his hands in his pockets and then shrugs. 

"well if you do know, I advise you to come clean now or else I'm going to go find Shirley and see if she has heard anything like what I heard" Shane says and when he see that I haven't moved he starts to continue down the path; probably to find Shirley. Ugh!! I'm stuck. I know that Ms. Goody two shoes will blab her mouth to Shane if I don't tell him the truth now. Grrrrr, I hate being pressured about to decisions; especially ones that are crucial. Hurry Bailey. Make a decision. Now!!! 

"Shane, wait!" I call out to him. He stops and looks back at me. (Sigh) I guess it's useless. 

"I'm the person who did it. But I really, really didn't mean to get all the other people in trouble. I swear. I just wanted to get Zoey, Megan, and Tyler in trouble, not everybody else. I feel really bad now though" I tell Shane truthfully. He better believe me. Usually when I tell the truth, no one believes me. When I don't tell the truth, everyone believes me. Seriously, what is up with that? It really gets on my nerves. 

"Is that the whole truth?" Shane asks me. Well yeah. Would I purposely leave things out? Wait, I totally would do that. Never mind; don't answer that. 

"Why’d you try to get them in trouble?" He asks me next. Because they deserve it. 

"Because Morgan and Jazzy asked me to......" I say before I realize what I just said. Oops. Shit!!! I glance up at Shane to see what his expression is. He STILL doesn't look mad but he does look pleased for some strange reason. 

"They asked you to set the other three up? Why?" he asks. I really don't want to tell on my friends but it is also my ass on the line here. 

"Because they wanted to get the jerks in trouble. Duh! But I came up with all the planning and everything" I tell him. That's all I'm saying about Morgan and Jazzy. Shane must be able to see this. 

"You know, I'm really glad that you came out and told me instead of waiting until I found out for sure that it was really you who did it. When Becca told me that she heard you confess, I didn't exactly believe her. She's known to tell lies to get other people in trouble and I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt" he tells me slightly proud. For some reason, I'm happy that I kinda did something right for once. 

"Sooooo what are you going to do now that you know?" I ask him nervously. I really, really don't want a spanking but I know that’s what he's going to do now. Ugh!

"That depends on you, I guess" Shane tells me with a shrug. What did he just say? 

"Why? You’re not going to um you know" I say not comfortable with saying the s word out loud. I mean someone could hear it. This camp is known for things spreading around. 

"Spank you? Should I?" he asks me. What is that supposed to mean? I don't know. You’re the decision maker, not me. Grrrrr, I bet he's doing this on purpose. Jerk face! Hmmmmm, should I say yes or no. If I say yes, Shane will definitely give me a spanking. If I say no, he might not since he is asking me. But I probably won't feel guilty anymore if he does. But spankings hurt and I don't want one. Ugh!! I hate decision making!!! This will probably be the only time I'll have a choice in the matter so I'm gonna say no. I sigh. 

"Yeah I guess you should" I tell him. Bailey, why did you just say? I was going to say no, now I'm doomed thanks to my stupid big mouth. 

"I have to say, I’m a little surprised by your choice but I agree with you nonetheless. Come on, follow me" Shane says leading the way to probably the cabin where I first got spanked. Ugh. Lucky me. 

When we get to the cabin door, I stop. What was I thinking? Am I crazy? I seriously think I am if I said yes to Shane spanking me. Spankings hurt and I'm about to get one. Ugh! Why me?

"Come on Bailey, don't just stand there. You want to get this over with, don't you?" Shane asks me when he notices my hesitation. All I can do is nod my head. 

"Then let's go. The quicker you get inside the quicker it will be over" he tells me. Well isn't he Mr. Reasonable today. I sigh defeated and shuffle into cabin door that Shane has open for me. It's like I'm about to get my head chopped off at the guillotine. Shane closes the door firmly behind me and grabs my arm to pull me to the bed. He sits down on the edge and draws me closer between his spread legs. Okay, that sounded way wrong. 

"Bailey, tell me what you did wrong" Shane tells me as his hands go toward my hips to the top of my shorts. Haven't we already gone over this? Why does it need repeating? As I'm thinking about my answer, Shane starts to pull my shorts down. I quickly grab the top preventing him from pulling them down even more. 

"What are you doing??" I ask him loudly. Give a girl some warning before you pants her. And a heart attack while you’re at it. 

"What did I say I say about spanking you again?" he asks me while folding his arms not looking pleased that my spanking session was interrupted. I think back to what he said last time. 

'Plus you got off easy this time. You'll usually get spanked first over your panties then on your bare butt.' My eyes widen. What!! No! He can't do that? 

"You can't spank me over my panties and you definitely can't spank me bare. Just spank me over my shorts" I say firmly hoping he catch the hint. He doesn't of course. 

"Just pull your shorts down please, Bailey" he tells me. I take a step back and hold my shorts tighter. I shake my head no. Shane sighs. 

"Bailey...." he says warning me. I take another step back. Shane's patience is pretty much done because he grabs a hold of my wrist and pulls me back again but turning my body sideways. 

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) 

He spanks my butt hard before I even realize what has happened. But I became aware very quickly due to the pain in my backside. 

"ow ow owww" I cry out. That hurt bad and it wasn't even over panties. 

"are you going to listen to me and pull your shorts down or do I have to continue to get your attention?" Shane asks me. No need for that. You have my attention loud and clear. 

"no, I'll pull my shorts down" I say quickly and pull then down. Shane doesn't waste any time and pulls me over his lap. My face is inches away from the floor. You know, surprisingly, the floor is pretty clean for a cabin in the woods. 

"so Bailey, tell what you did wrong" Shane tells me while adjusting my body and butt to where he wants them. Ugh! It has started. No turning back now. 

"I got a lot of people into trouble" I tell him. 

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

"no, you’re not in trouble for uncovering the truth of all the people who chose to smoke and then try to hide it. You’re in trouble for how you uncovered the truth. So try again" he tells me then continuing the spanking. 

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

"owww owie ah okay ow okay ah" I cry as he does so. Think Bailey and hurry up!!

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

"ow I owwwie snuck into ah two cabins ow that weren't ah mine ow ow" I tell him moving around hoping that Shane will miss or something but he seems to be hitting his mark HARD every time. 

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

"what else?" he asks me next. Grrrrr. Stop with all the questions. 

"for owwwie going ah through other ow peoples things ow ow ah" I tell him. Tears are now running down my face. My butt is killing me. 

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) 

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

Shane must be happy with my answers because now just he concentrates on spanking me. He spanks everywhere on my butt; including the place where my thighs meet my cheeks and even a few times on my thighs. This hurt a ton more because my panties didn’t cover those parts at all. It was torture. I was sobbing and moving my butt even more. I didn't budge though. Shane had a tight grip on me, unfortunately. 

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) 

"oww I'm sorry ah please ah Shane owww" I sob to him as the spanking went on and on and on. Would it ever end? It actually did as I was thinking it. Shane places his hand on my burning ass gently. 

"are you sorry for what you did, Bailey?" he asks me. All I can do is nod my head.

"let's make sure of that. Last 30 and then it's over" Shane tells me while slipping my panties down to my knees.
I reach back to cover my butt which is scorching but he just pins my hand behind my back. So much for that. 

"pleeeeaase noooo" I sob pitifully to him hoping Shane will change his mind. He doesn't, of course. 

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

His hand slaps my bare cheeks hard and it seems that the pain just intensifies even more. I sob harder now. 

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

I must be dying right now. Actually, wish I would die so I wouldn't have to feel this terrible pain. 

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) (smack) 

I didn't even realize that Shane had finished until he had pulled my panties up. He was about to pull my shorts up but I put a stop to that. 

"no don't pull those up yet. Pleeaaseee" I say still sobbing hard. Shane doesn't and helps my shaky body up. I quickly sit in his lap, but a little too fast which causes more pain upon my buns. Smart move, Bailey. Shane shifts me to where my butt doesn't have a lot of pressure on it. I wrap my arms around his neck and cry myself out. Shane rubs my back soothingly and rocks me. I eventually stop crying to a few sniffles. I sit back to look at Shane as I wipe tears away from my face. 

"you okay, sweetie?" he asks me as he wipes away a stray tear. I shake my head no. Heck no, I am not!! Does it look like I'm okay? Blind man. 

"I'm sure just barely. You took your spanking really well. I'm proud of you. I'm also still very proud that you didn't smoke" he tells me with a smile. I grin back happy that Shane is proud of me. And for some reason, my guiltiness is gone. Weird, isn't it? 

"you look exhausted, Bailey. Come on, I'll help take you back to your cabin to sleep" he says as I get up off of his comfy lap and gently pull up shorts. We head to the door with me snuggled into his side with his arm around me. And don't think anything by that either. A lot of girls do that with their leaders once they've been spanked. I've seen it with my own eyes. I'm not doing anything weird. So ha! Shane helps me all the way to my cabin. He pretty much had to carry me the last of it because I kept tripping over myself since I was falling asleep. Once there, Shane helped me into my bed and snuggle me up tight. I was practically asleep before he even reached the door but not before feeling Shane kiss me gently on the head soft and tenderly. I feel asleep with a smile on my face.
